Louisiana Ranked No. 23 in Preseason USA Today/Amway Coaches Poll

[Cajunrunner]

20 years ago, we were coming off a 1-10 season with losses to Sam Houston St, Northwestern St, and Jacksonville St which were all home games.

Amazing how time heals.

Had we not been so dang impatient and fired a head coach after only three seasons, who knows what the following years might have been. Things can't be rebuilt overnight.

That’s what I’m saying, marlin just needs some time to get things going

Do you feel we may benefit due to the lack of home cooking now half of the college football world will be watching? If so, those are my thoughts exactly.

Had not considered that, but that's an interesting thought. I just always expect to be shafted by officials when playing bigger conferences.

I think having both teams ranked makes it easier to promote and the game will seem bigger to the casual fan who wouldn't ordinarily watch. Just about anyone who loves CFB will watch a top 25 matchup.

And a week one top 25 matchup at that, Boise vs UCF and Alabama vs Miami are the only two other games that compare I believe

[CajunVic]

It will be tabbed as the best matchup week 1 do the season.

[Cajunmac]

Yeah, but I think the Alabama vs. Miami game is on at the exact same time as us on Sept. 4.

[CajunRebel]

We’re ranked #23 boys. They could call us the Laffy Taffy Butttlickers for all I care. We’re ranked #23.

But that one will be over at halftime and the whole country will be watching us take down Texas

If you play the game by another name, you didn't play the game.
